Not a knock but a little info. Bellaire has an opening next season and AD contacted N Y. N Y declined to schedule. Unfortunate as I like to see different teams on the schedule instead of they same old same old. Hopefully in the future, but I do admit might be a little excessive travel distance.

Same old same old? Ok other than TVC games and the Trimble game you do realized that NY's schedule has indeed changed in the last 2 years. Minford series started last year, Waverly series started last year, and Martins Ferry game was a first this year. The schedule has INDEED changed since Richards has taken over. They also might have had an opening but not at the week that NY might have one.

Sorry I wasn't more clear, but I'm from Bellaire and was refering to the same old schedule of Bellaire that changes rairly from season to season except a single game.

Oak Hill replaces Waverly week 5 and we had that worked out last year, week 3 is now filled and their are a couple teams we would like to play week 2 that we are already talking to. Also, we are trying to flip the schedule so we don't have 3 straight home or away games starting week 2.
Lots of things play into teams playing each other.

What week?

2 or 5 . 5 was filled with Cambridge. When NY was contacted not sure if both weeks were still open.

Would be a great match up but as I just looked at the distance between these 2 it is approximately 120 miles between schools. 2 hour and 25 minutes does seem to be a bit far to play a football game unless you have no choice at all.

I have to root for Alex but NY will wear out Alexander in the second half

Raider you are an Athens fan correct? If I was a fan of the bulldogs I would root for NY. Ny is the smaller school and you need all the computer points you can get. Just like next week you are an Alex fan over Warren so you get more points. I know you are the big fish in a small pond but the next 2 weeks you need the smaller fish to win.

Alexander and Warren are both bigger schools in the two respective games you are referring to. Therefore if they win, Athens will get more points. So Raider is right, they need Alex to beat Ny and warren to beat Alex.

Dundas you might want to check how it actually works. Trust me Athens would get 4.0 secondary points if Alex would beat NY. They get 4.5 points if NY beats Alex. Next week if the bigger school win in Warren Athens would get 4.5 points. If Alex beats Athens they would get 5.5 because Warren is Div 3.
So if both big schools win they get a total of 1.5 more secondary points. And it looks like Athens we need every little point they can get.
So after you beat a team if they are playing someone smaller you always want the smaller team to win.
Here is the point breakdown for how the points work.
When your opponent beats another team.
Div 7 - 3.5
Div 6 - 4.0
Div 5 - 4.5
Div 4 - 5.0
Div 3 - 5.5
Div 2 - 6.0
Div 1 - 6.5

Hope Rusty has the sense to call off the dogs, Alex is very well coached but very UNDERMANED
I'm sure Coach Dean would do the same if the situation were reversed.
Good luck to both teams hope both teams play injury free.

We wouldn't run the score up on coach Dean.
If the Bucks start to run away with it the JV kids will start rotating in when the clock starts running.

Thought Coach Dean should have kicked 2 FG instead of going on fourth down when close to the goal line. You have a kicker that can kick 40 yard FG’s and this would have been chip shots. At worse it would be 14-6 at half and you’re getting the ball back to start the second half only down a touchdown and 2 point conversion. Alex doesn’t have an offense for a fourth and two or a fourth and six.

I certainly didn’t mean anything bad about Coach Dwan. He’s done a hell of a job at Alex. It was only my feelings and he know a hell of. A lot more than I about football. I believe NY May be in trouble against Athens, but you never know

Correct Orange and brown. The Buckeyes have to tackle better. It looks like we are seeing improvement out of the young buckeyes. With a great off season in the weight room they could be very solid next year. But on the Vinton County first. The bucks need to take care of business first on the road and then worry about the bulldogs after that.
